Good Evening. I just wanted to ask. My Puppy suddenly lost appettite after vomitting 4x yesterday. Today, he hasn't really eaten anything but he has been drinking water with sugar. What can I do to regain his appettite? Do I have to change his food? Do i make it dry? Wet? Can anyone help? I would really appreciate it.

Hello, sorry to hear about Toffee. He may need to be seen by a veterinarian to make sure that he does not have an infection with Parvovirus or has ingested something which is causing an obstruction in his GI tract. If these are both negative, then he may need to have anti-nausea medications and deworming to hopefully treat his vomiting and nausea. Please monitor for persistent vomiting, diarrhea, a decreased appetite, or lethargy and contact us if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck.
